The Most Inappropriately Named Sports Teams


http://www.maxim.com/Inappropriatelynamedsportsteams/articles/24346.aspx?src=news:feature2


From the Article:



"New York Rangers

Unless you count that Central Park cop on horseback, there ain't no rootin', tootin' Texas lawmen anywhere near Madison Square Garden. They were christened the Rangers because their founder was named "Tex" Rickard, and the local press dubbed his new hockey team "Tex's Rangers." Too bad "Tex" was from…Missouri.

Suggested New Name: The New York Pee Smell"

Ouch, is just keeps getting better for the Rangers ;)


Not a team name, but I couldn't help but laugh every time I heard the name of the Nashville Predators' arena, The Gaylord Entertainment Center... Beavis and Butthead couldn't have picked a better name :laugh:

Unfortunately, the name has now been changed

Funny article. It always confused me why they were called the Rangers.

Yeah, it's always fun to throw back at Ranger fans that their team is named for a pun! Nothing military or anything to do with police. A frigging pun.

The article missed the most inappropriate sports name ever:

The Macon Whoopee

Brandi: Second suitor: if we were making whoopee, what sounds would you make?
Brodie: Wait, what's whoopee?
Brandi: You know, being intimate.
Brodie: What? Like f**king?

it's obviously the Chicago Fire of the MLS. I can't believe anyone thought that iy would be appropriate to name a sports team after an event that killed hundreds of people

The most inappropriately named team in sports, of course, is the Utah Jazz. Nothin' says "jazzy" or "soulful" like the lily-whitest state in the union.

If the Nets move to Newark they're going to change their name to "Riot".

Minor league hockey gospel: All "cks" consonant combinations must be converted into two or more "X"s. Example:

Exxxtreme
Traxx
Duxx
Dixxxxx
